Community Alliance Against Adolescent Pregnancy Coalition - CAAAP

Over the past 10 years, the CAAAP Coalition has worked together to lower the number of teenage pregnancies in Mississippi County.

First by building community awareness around the issue and second to educate the youth in our county about teenage pregnancies.

Today the youth are educated by participating in the SexualAwareness Classes.  All 7th and 8th graders that attend school in Mississippi County receive the training.  The Sexual Awareness Classes are held each school year in conjunction with the two local schools systems.  Charleston along with East Prairie School Systems are working to help our area youth succeed.  For more information about the CAAAP Coalition and the Sexual Awareness Training please contact Dana Brown-Ellis or Lisa Minner at 573-683-7551. Become involved today and help make a difference in a young adults life.
